We had ventilation in the cupboard so it wasn’t a problem. Of course, this is only a solution you can use if you’re careful about things like that. Ultimate Organization: Unleash your living space from the clutches of clutter, with your Sky Q box neatly mounted on the wall. A symphony of sleekness, the Sky Q Box Wall Mount doesn't just hide your device; it enhances it.. Thank you so much for your kind comment, Eamonn! I completely understand what you’re planning, I’m not sure if it will be possible though. A lot will depend on the type of skybox you have, as I’m not sure the sky eye will work on newer models. I’d love to be more help, but I’m afraid I don’t know what solution would work best for you. We never tried 2 magic eyes. But as RF2 is the only one that has power, I would think that a magic eye in RF1 wouldn’t work. I seen someone commenting in 2017 and saying they were late to this thread and here is me coming in at the end of 2021.
Not to mention the tangled mess of random cables and remotes that seem to take over the corner of your living room and whose sole purpose it seems to be to collect dust. I am guessing from the post, I will also have to run a cable from the bedroom which would be no problem. Is the cable the normal TV cable or is there specialised ‘Sky TV Cable’?.. possibly a dumb question! I’m not sure what solution would be best as our Sky Box was older and that’s what worked for us. Sorry, we don’t know more. Maybe someone reading your comment can help? The big downside of doing things this way is that the picture outputted from an RF2 output is only an analogue quality picture which may look very grainy or unclear on your flat screen TV, especially the larger ones. While this may be fine for your needs, the analogue picture doesn't look as bad on small screens. To combat this I suggest using the RF2 output for controlling the Sky box only and utilising the HDMI output for the best Sky picture quality like Full 1080p HD or 4K. This may mean having to buy extra long HDMI cables, or using HDMI-Cat5/6 extenders or a HD modulator to be able to send the HDMI signal over distance. Sometimes the analogue RF2 TV picture can be improved by moving the Sky RF output channel to another number. The Sky boxes come preset to UHF channel 68 which is not a good channel to be using as it is now part of the frequency band now used for 4Gmobile communications and you could get 4Ginterference on your TV picture. I don’t think that a sky eye would work, as it’s a differnt kind of sensor for the playstation. You’d be surprised at how well the Playstation controller works though – we tested ours and tried controlling the Playstation while standing in another room and it worked well. I’d recommend trying the same with yours and then you’ll know if you can move it to a more hidden place. Just remember that the Playstation gets very warm and needs lots of fresh air and shouldn’t be in a closed cupboard when it’s running. We always leave our cupboard open as wide as possible when the Playstation is on.It was really easy! The cable trunking is just placed into a recess that we drilled into the wall and plastered over. Then we just fed the cables through the channel to the TV. As for using the sky box in the cupboard, we used this Magic Eye in combination with a coax cable. The cable is fed through the cable trunking and connected to the sky box, the magic eye is then connected to the other end of the cable and positioned on top of the TV. Really straight forward! Wish we’d done it ages ago! We particularly find the Goldline Sky box floating shelf appealing due to its minimalistic glossy finish, sturdy column, and two toughened clear glass tops. Both glass surfaces have a large area (350 x 300 mm) and 10 kgs of max load capacity, so you can put your streaming media players and smaller home decors right alongside the regular Sky Q or Sky Q Mini box. our sky box had only 1 RF Output, if I remember correctly. So you can only connect 1 Sky Eye at a time. (even if it had 2 RF outputs, I don’t know if you can put a signal on both at the same time).
There is actually more than one solution to placing your Sky Box in very close proximity to your wall-mounted TV, and with a large amount of ease too! I have a 2 sky boxes. One in bedroom and one in the sitting room. I would like to be able to watch one from the kitchen but I do not want to either pay for another one or move the other 2. As you can imagine the bedroom one (you’ll never guess) is used at night time and I was thinking about installing one of these Magic Eyes in the Kitchen to operate the bedroom one. So (finally) the question.. Will I be able to change channels from the kitchen via the eye? Is it expensive?

It’s amazing what a difference a little gadget for just a few pounds can make. Not sure if the eye we used is compatible with Virgin boxes, but there’ll definitely be one available that is. What a fab gadget! I’m a bit of a luddite but hate trailing wires and cables. We have our tv on a horrible modern unit because it has an open front. Now I know we can use a cupboard instead I’m going to get it changed! Wall-mounted televisions have become the norm now that they come with enormous screens. Resting such flatscreen or curved TVs on a cabinet simply takes too much space, so it only makes sense to mount them flush against the wall.
This blog has been written with Sky boxes in mind as this is perhaps the most likely piece of equipment that will be connected to your TV. Most of the content is re-usable however and many of the processes described could also be used for finding suitable positions for other AV equipment like Freeview boxes, Freesat boxes, Virgin box, DVD/ Bluray players and games consoles when the TV is wall mounted. I describe this at greater length in an older blog on how to hide AV equipment. I recommend that you read that also when you are done here.Elegance Redefined: Elevate your living space with a sophisticated Sky Q box mount that blends seamlessly with your decor. Crafted from premium mild steel, this mount is an epitome of durability and aesthetics.
We’ve actually just switched to Virgin, but haven’t updated the eye yet. We’ll try and get it done and keep you updated. Always happy to help if we can. I don’t think this solution is possible on a Virgin box. What you can possibly do is connect your box via Ethernet to your router and use your smartphone and a Virgin app to control it.If you have just had your TV wall mounted or are planning on having a TV wall mounted and were wondering where you could place your Sky box/satellite TV receiver. Read on for some helpful suggestions on where this can be installed. I have used all of these suggestions at one time or another so hopefully it will help you decide the best place to put your Sky box when TV is wall mounted.
Great Deal
